An opportunity baa been prrpuited whereby the college may have Its endowment Increased by $100,000 Chi- I.IKO frlcndu of the Institution have pledged Jf' " 00 , provided another J50.000 be raised by > ommoncemcnt dny next June. Or. Ljons Is novr davntlng his energies to rais ing the second halt of the dcalred Bum. The nlutnnl of the college Includes * num ber of residents of this city , among them being the pastor of the Central church U Is umnnK these , as well ns among members and frlcndH of the United Presbyterian rhuioh , that. Dr Lyons hopes to secure a part of the fund he Is striving to accumu late A fnir audience greeted Ir Lyons yes- tcrday morning and ho preached a sermon of deep thought , leading up to the riues- tlon of college work Ills thought was that the essence of life was chnr.irtcr , and wlth- out thiractcr llfo Is a falluru The Chris tian rollego moulds not only the mind , but the haracter of the young men and women who peck to Improve their mental and spir itual welfare within its walls. I li.uo come that they might have life and have It moro abundantly , " was the text nrmmd which the thread of the discourse WHS woven. ' Spiritual life docs not consist nf out ward things , but of inward character , " said Dr Lyons. "Tow know what Is spiritual liftTlio beggar In the street may have moro nf spliltual life thin the occupant of the mansion , who possessors the material things of life. Character consists of the power to BCD the things of fed ! The mil lionaire may have the magnificent gallery of pictures , but the poor boy from the street may steal through the gallery and derive all the pleasure from the works of art. The owner has only the things of life , while the boy has the soul which enables him to see their beauties. Llfo must consist of the qualities of your Mini and of your goodness. You may adopt a poor child , furnish it a homo and give it clothing and food , but you do not give It thirafler. God adopts us that wo may have Ills character and out of this comes the blessings which fall upon the family of Rod. Ho gives us llfo and gives it abundantly as no emulate Ills character. "You have a library In this city which Is n credit and an honor to your citizens , yet there are many who cannot read , who can not comprehend a thought. What an en Inrgemont of life it would be It wo could lift them up to comprehend these things. That Is what Christ Is doing Ho Is lifting us up that wo may comprehend God. Ho fceeks to open our eyes to another world. " Dr Lyons then took up the point that Christian colleges arc engaged in opening the eyes of young men and women of the world to Christ. Thus the mission which brought him to this city was one for Christ and the church , and not for earthly cor poration. Ho explained the opportunity now before the college and the great need of Its success It was supremely essential that the endowment of the college bo In- < reascd , or Its work would bo seriously cur tailed At the conclusion of the sermon It was announced there would bo n meeting of the former students of the college , friends of the Institution and membois of the church at the auditorium of the Young Men's Christian association this morning for a conference with Dr. Lyons on the subject of. the college endowment.

Hov Andrew Christy Brown declared from his pulpit in the Knox Presbyterian church jOFU > rclay morning that the giddy Midway of the oxposltlon last year did Incalculable dimngo to thonpliltual llfo of Omaha , from which the churches have not yet fully re covered. Ho found occasion for making this thai go In the fact that the anninl report of the church , which wan submitted to the congiegatlon , showed that the congregation has been at a standstill and has even de teriorated a bit In point of numbers during tlio last year. "I find that the same complaint coraei ifroni other churches In the city , " said Rev CMr Drown. "I do not want to disparage the expohltlon , which was doubtle s a mag- nlllcent success from a scientific point of view , but the Midway had a deadly Inlluanco upon the churchiu. It was blatant and oilcnslvo It drew church people from the churches on the Sabbath It offered to the eves sights and to the ears expressions to which many e > ( s and can. had ne\or been expo-ted It was moro unseemly than borne of the places In this city which church peo- * * _ , , ( i ) ( ; ) 2f A new Flavor for | , | | | Breakfast | | II For "Finicky" M Appetites. | | Grape-Nuts , i "My liivttUlKntlon further shows that I l > pllo\o men are moro cranky on the sub- Jpct of food thun womenIt will pay > ou to Juivo tame advertisements appealing to men , especially business mon "Keep In mind that men have very finicky appetites for breakfast "Thoy smoke a great deal during the day.

It must also keep abreast of the times even ahead of them If It lined the appllanccA in vogue fifty years ago It would be ns much of a failure as the farmer who employwj the utcn lls of n half a century ago. It must bavo the simple gospel preached from the pulpit and the pew. The congregation shoul 1 not come to hear a "strong" sermon , but the simple word of God. Jesus , In his day , did not go Into philosophy , but applied the simple tenets of Christianity. The paotor , however , laid eflpeclal stress upon the responsibility that rists upon the congregation to form an Ideal church. Such a church cannot bo made up of people who come to church only to show and wear their Sunday clothes , nor of people who come to church from their Sunday newspaper , Instead of from their knees at home No minister under the sun , ho declared , can build up n church when he Is loaded down with "dead" people , who expect him to do nil the woik. Ho Insisted that upon each member of the congregation rents a responsibility of carryIng - Ing on the work. Instead of "workers" who work , nnd "Jerkcrs" who work now and again shirk , and "shirkers" who shirk nil the tlmo , the church must bo made up of excluslxely the former. Then convorMons will flow In Without conversions , tlic preacher assorted , all churches arc failures Although Uev ( Mr Urown took n rather dismal view of the spiritual progress made by his church during the last year , he found much encouragement In the financial ro- port. The gifts for congregational purposes during the year amounted to $4,026 , of which ll.CGt had been expended In remodelling the church edifice The gifts to the various boards and charity aggregated $177 , bring ing the total contributions to $3.502. This Is the largest contribution in the history ot the church , the highest figure reached In the past being $3,643 , In 1897. The Increase over last year was $ L1CS. Hvi' scuooi.v or TIIOICHT.

A largo congregation listened to an able dissertation on the "Different Schools ot Thought" by Dean Pair iat Trinity episcopal catliedrar Sunday morning. The sermon was preceded by sotno good music by the excel lent choir. Dean Fair chose First Corinthians , xll 4-R-6 , for his text , the central thought that ono Lord reigns through all being em phasized In hie reading. In opening his dis course ho said variety is not confusion ; di versity Is not disunion. One enters n par lor nnd finds It furnUhed with numerous pieces of furniture. Ho goes into the other rooms and finds them filled with different articles There Is a varletj , but nothing In congruous ; it is one home. Ho goes Into a gaiden and finds different kinds of flowers growing there. They are not Inharmonious- there' IB no disunion. He said he watched a review of 30,000 foreign soldiers once The uniforms were varied In their colors , but the troops moved in accord. In chinch cli- cles ono finds a diversity of opinions. He was sorry It was so , and he lioped the ( line would come when the dlvergenco would not bo o great. The speaker said his subject might be di vided Into four parts. From his , standpoint there are four different kinds of churchmen , the broad , high , low and ritualistic. He con sidered the broad an unfortunate title and referred to Matthew \ll-13 , "For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction , ' as an Illustration of his reason- Ing. Ho said the broad churchman goes be yond bounds and stands out pre-eminently for God a-ad the world The high churchman bases his belief on God alone. The low churchman laya emphasis on individuality and the ritualist devotes himself to God and worship. Dean Fair thoucht die beet way to illus trate his division of hU subject was by com parison and he offered the following for the consideration of his auditors The broad churchman discusses the vvoild's greatest problems The high churchman believes In his church and its divine mission , The low churchman iooki , to the bible and Its In spirations , while the iltuallstlc devotee bases his argument on the altar and upon sacrifice1. In his second comparison ho said the broad churchman believes In human organi- 7iUlons nnd his high brother in divine sacra ment. The low churchman looks to the preaching In the pulpit for his Inspiration and the ritualistic follower thinks the priest Is absolute Still another comparison was that the broad churchman looks to Intellectual wis dom for a solution of the woild's problems. The high churchman places moro faith In spiritual Inspiration The low churchman believes in personal experience nnd the ritualistic upholder gives ecclesiastical dis cipline his support In the speaker's estimation the world needs greater comprehensiveness. H should look to the word of God as authority. Noth ing God has permitted should be loft out of Ills belief He should take all ns It Is. Ho ought not to make his own blblo , but give strict , loyal , faithful obedience to con stituted authority , Ho said each should ex- amlno his own hcoit. Ho should look to the cross of Calvary and upon the death of the Lord Jesus Christ for the atonement of his sins. That thought alone , he urged , should stand out pre-eminent In all belief. l iilSONAI < 1TOP Jffsi'H CIIIUST. rnnililncil llntli MnNuullitp nnil Krm- Inliio Trulls of Clinriifter. The personality of Christ was the topic of the morning dlscourso by Rev Howard Mac \jeal at I'lv month Congregational I church His remarks were based on tlio scriptural passage which declares that "Christ is wonderful" and he briefly cited 6ome of the reasons why this declaration la literally true. The first remarkable characteristic ol Christ that the speakei emphasized was the fact that there wore exhibited In Him the peculiar attributes both of a man nnd of a Cod He received from His fellow men that which gave Him sorrow and returned to them that which gave them the highest Joy He was In every respect a man like | unto other men. but Ho also displayed all the characteristics that belong to God Ilov MacA > eal also declared that Christ was wonderful because He combined botli masculine nnd feminine tralta of character That Ho should be a man was natural but it was also essential that He should have those qualities that would bring to Him the phlld and the woman This remarkable feature of His life predicate ! the fact thai in the final redemption there will bo nelthoi wale nor female , for all shall be one In Christ JesiiB , Continuing , the speaker called attention to three striking characteristics of the Sa vior as Illustrating each aide of His dual cturader HU moat prominent masculins train , nero the Inspiration of a mighty pur pose , great fortitude and wonderful repoi ? Ho set before the world the greatest prln- ilplo that was ever enunciated and He did It with a fortitude that nothing could dis turb His mental poise was a distinctive element of ninscullne greatnets The utate- tnent was made that future generations will agree that the greatness of William McKln- le > consists In the calm poise of his char acter During the last few months the administration has teen vigorously assailed , but this calm and h rolc figure has stood unmoved through all the factional strife and clamor Gentleness , tact and s > mpath > were the feminine characteristics that the. speaker considered most notable In the personality of Christ. Ho possessed these attributes ns no woman has ever possessed them and he referred to a number of the familiar Inci dents In His llfo to show how frequently these traits had been exhibited Another wonderful chaiacterlstlc of Christ was the fact that , though by birth and training He was n Jew and a provincial , His after llfo was not what wo would expect from such a source Ho also possessed the peculiar combination of purity and right eousness with perfect s > mpath > and helpful ness for sinners In this there IH a lesson to bo learned by the modern Christians As men grow In outward propriety and In con formity to certain standards they seem to become harder and lacking In sympathy with the sins and failures ot their fellow men. When nilrnbcth vvas at the height of her religious fervor the heads ot martyrs were hung upon the Tower and when the Pu ritans wore so eminently observant of the faith that they considered It almost a sin to cat an apple on the Sabbath , they were cropping men's ears and banishing Hoger Williams The same tendency continues to bo apparent , and In conclusion the speaker utged his hearers to study more closely the personality of Christ as a model after which to pattern their own service.

Savldgo last evening at the People's church. Ho gave seven icasons for his attack on "tho filthy weed , " as follows The wisest nnd best men speak against its use ; to bacco Is uncleanly , It is expensive , It Is nn awful tyrant ; It is a fruitful mother ot disease , It seriously affects the health ot the ono who uses It , and it Is a sin against God. God.n.ach n.ach of these points was proven by facts presented by Mr. Savidgo. Franklin , Oree- le > \ Jefferson and Webster all spoke against tobacco The fllthlness of the weed is wit nessed overj where. In our own country v\o burn up more than $100.000,000 annually for cigars alone. The pcoplo of the United States pay out for tobacco in all its forms $700,000,000 every year. The t > ranny ot to bacco is known to everybody ; it makes slaves of millions and millions. Distin guished authorities were cited to show that tobacco is poisonous and productive of dis ease. A plug of a certain kind of chewing tobacco contains 380 grains of nicotine , enough to kill 200 mon. General Grant feascd smoking too late. Captain Hart of Minnesota died of cancer produced by to bacco So did Captain Cook of Nebraska. William S. Sebring died from tobacco in Omaha in 1897. Shortly before his death he wrote a warning to his old comrades to abandon the tobacco habit. Dr. Mathewson was quoted as sajlns that to tobacco and whisky can be traced seven-tenths of the cases of insanity. Dr. Kerlin , in charge of the largest asylum in the world for the feeble-minded , sajs that "by far the greatest proportion of the Inmates of that Institution are children of men who are tobacco users. " The conclusion drawn by Mr. Savldge from these facts Is that the use of tobacco is a sin. Ho urged all tobacco users to stop the vile habit and advised the non-usors never to acquire it.

"When the apostle , Paul , wrote the words , 'the husband Is head ot the wife , ' he did not mean that the wife Is to be a slave or treated like one , " remarked Ilov. C. B Allen , pastor of the Beth-I3den Baptist chinch , yesterday morning "However , when Paul wrote this sentence existing conditions wcro different from those of the present time. Then the husband was the master and the wife was merely a slave , doing every duty required of her. She was re garded as a piece of property and frequently disposed of like any other article of furniture In the house. The husband could sell her or dispose of her in nny manner that pleased his fancy , and In some Instances he was at liberty to kill her if he felt so disposed. "In this dny and age ot the world the husband Is not always supreme , and I can call to mind cases where certain wives have more sense than their husbands will ever have , "Paul declares that the husband is head of the wife , and the terra may be used much In the same manner us tha expression that 'Christ is head of the church , ' and in this connection It seems to me , first of all , that headship means excellence and moral in fluence. In this connection man's headship should bo ono of great moral power ; man should bo such a manly man as to command the respect and esteem of his wife , for it la a fact that no man can afford to be any thing but a manly man. Ho. should be such a man that his wife can look up to him as a guide to holy living , "I have no sympathy with the statement frequently made that religion is only for women and children ; I have no sympathy with the statement eo often given publicity that 'I look after the business and my wife looks after the religion , ' The wife has a divine right to look up to the husband as an assistant In the religious training of the ohlldrim , as God places at least a portion of this rcsponfalblllty upon him. In early days the entire responsibility for the moral and religion * training of the children was placed upon the husband , but now there are many fathers and husbands who seek to shirk this responsibility by saying : 'I am not a Chris tian. ' If men are not Christians they ought to bo ; it Is to a man's everlasting folly and shumo that he Is not a Christian ; there Is no way by which he can Justify himself and the guilt tg ] ) the greater If he Is not a follower of Chrl t "Tho words of Paul do not enjoin upon man to command hla wife , but rather , they Imply that he should love her It la by love that Christ rules the church and It U by love that man should rule his wife Love < the tie that binds man to his wife and this tie should be the prime consideration In the famlls There may lx > other consider ations , but they are all secondarj I believe that n majority of families arc happy ones , 1 believe a majority of marriages nro happy ones , I believe a majority of homes are happy ones. Hut of the e wo hear nothing Instead , If there Is an unhappy homo every person in the block knows of it and hears of It" Speaking of the duties of husbands , Rev. Mr. Allen said "They should provide for the support of their wives and families and do It in a kind nnd loving spirit There are many wives in Omaha todaj who are not treated with as much consideration as the servants In the kitchen. The servants receive their stipends for performing their labors , and If they happen to prepare some dainty cllsh for the table they nro complimented nnd receive the thanks of tholr cmplojor Hut with the wife , In many instances , it Is quite the rev emu She may toll and slave and dig nnd yet there are caeca where she Is treated worse than the pot dog. If she asks for a little money the husband goes down into his pocket , ibrlngs up a dollar ana pacslng it over , cautions her to return the change after purchasing the cheap gown "H Is by no means unman ! } for a man to confess that ho loves his wife. Ho told her so twenty years ago , before they were married , but that Is not enough , she should bo told of It oftener and assured that he has Ob much love for her na on the day when they stood nt the altar , when ho promised before God to love , cherish nnd care for her so long ns life continued. It IK true that many husbands appreciate their wives , but they fall to do the thousands of little things that would make them and their homes happy. " l HIM | f lN ' Toolll.
